I work with a large healthcare system in New Mexico. We also would like to know if other CE's are considering automated or manual solutions for tracking disclosures and producing an "accounting" as required by law.
Also, how are other CE's handling the issue of being able to report not only their own disclosures, but also those made by Business Associates: - do you plan to survey business associates each time a request for an accounting comes in? - do you plan to ask business associates to proactively report any disclosures they make? - how will you keep track of this? Thanks!

During our last call the topic came up for discussion and I offered to post an email to a couple of listservs to generate some discussion regarding this topic. How have CE's been dealing with HIPAA's accounting requirements? Do CE's have tools that they would be willing to share that might make it easier for those who are still struggling with this subject to use to assist them with sorting this requirement out? Are CE's approaching the accounting requirements by using paper tracking systems or through the use of electronic tracking systems? If anyone has best practices that they would be willing to share about how to address these issues, please share them.
